V10 won't idle...
I've got a 2000 V10. Today I drove about 100 miles and the X drove fine. I've got about 1/2 tank of gas left.
After pulled into the drive way and let the truck sit about 4hrs and now the truck won't idle at all. Starts up just fine, it just won't idle.....
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Big Mick

I'm starting to think that I've got a problem with my Idle Air Control valve???? Where is this think located at???
I really need to get a manual....

Its directly behind the throttle body, between the firewall and the back-side of the throttle body. Its a small soleniod that is bolted right to the back of it. Mine did the same thing, would start but would cut off after a second. I took mine off and cleaned it with some carb cleaner, that was a year ago, and its still working fine.
To determine if this was the culprit, I actually tapped on it with a plastic screw-driver handle while the wife was cranking it over, and i could actually hear it click over and open up.
Hope this helps. [img]images/smilies2/thumb.gif[/img]

Thanks alot V10_X... The IAC value was the problem... I cleaned it really good and works like a champ...
ALthough I must fuss up to a little boo-boo.... Seems that while I was testing out the truck after reinstalling the IAC, I didn't connect the air intake back, "I was spraying carb cleaner in etc" Any how, the truck would start up and idle just fine. When I stepped on the gas it would die, and then finally the "check engine" light came on...
Yep I know, MAF wasn't working....
Very funny...
Thanks for the help
